Braveheart Keto Pizza: Feeling sorry you can’t have your pizza on Keto? You haven’t tried this incredible low-carb pizza yet. Don’t worry you won’t even notice a difference because this tastes just like the original. Even the most compulsive eaters LIKE ME complain they can’t finish this in one go.
If this doesn’t get you excited about your new pizza then I don’t know what will. I named this after Mel Gibson’s movie Braveheart because when I first tried this Fathead recipe I was reading how Mel Gibson got in shape.

Here’re the instructions for this recipe before we discuss the all important macros:
Take a microwaveable bowl and combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in it.
Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute and stir.
Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir again.
Next, add whisked egg, almond flour, and salt to this mixture. Combine well.
Place the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper and use a roller to create a “large-sized” pizza. Make sure it’s spread thin.
Remove the top parchment paper. And now make holes with a fork on the dough surface.

Cook it until brown. Once it gets crispy take it out. (To make it even more crispy you can put it under a low broil).

What can I substitute in this keto pizza recipe?
Mozzarella Cheese: If you don’t have Mozzarella Cheese then you can use another type of shredded cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack (if you prefer a different flavor). For those avoiding dairy, try a non-dairy cheese alternative made from nuts or soy.
Almond Flour: you can replace almond flour with coconut flour, although you would need less of it because it’s highly absorbent (use about ÂĽ cup coconut flour for every cup of almond flour). However, coconut flour is denser so you want to add some leaving agent and add some more liquid. Sunflower seed flour or pumpkin seed flour could also work for those with nut allergies.
Egg: A “flax egg” (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, set to gel for 15 minutes) could work as a binder.
Pepperoni: You could use slices of bell peppers, mushrooms, or other vegetables. If you’re okay with meat but want a change, try ham, sausage, or bacon.
